Thursday links

  • David Hogg’s family home got SWATted. This shouldn’t happen to anybody, ever. But plenty of gun-rights activists are noting that Hogg’s reaction is not at all normal for an alleged SWATting victim.
  • The financial scandal nobody’s talking about. (Accounting firms getting cozy and fabulously rich with their clients.)
  • Poor, poor Paul Manafort. He’s really just not very good at this whole understanding encryption business. (A lesson here for all users of WhatsApp and other pre-packaged “secure” communications offerings.)

  • “The world is full of stupid and angry people, and most of them live in Portland.” Another great opening line — and another great takedown of social-justice pecksniffery — from Kevin D. Williamson.
  • Don’t like hate speech? resist it with free speech says civil libertarian Nadine Strossen (stating what ought to be, but no longer is, obvious).
  • Ever wanted to know how to hire an “escort”? Maggie McNeill tells all. (Well, not quite all; she doesn’t get into prices.) This is part of Reason’s daring “Burn After Reading” issue.
